' Hughes Gives Europe Plain Words ? -Wheeler to Run With LaFolIette By ibWARD W. pickard /CHARLES EVANS ' HUGHE 3, a .. . Vi notable American, made a aotable address Monday night in London un dfer notable circumstances. In London : t the premiers werte In conference and , .all the world was Aching them as they fought, bled gnd alnfost died over the much-vexed issue bf putting Into effect the Dayves commission plan for . \the payment of Qerman reparations. The United States government was not represented officially la ' the confer t, *ence,' but It Is from the American bankers that the $200,000,000 loan to - finance the plan must come. In London was also Charles E '.Hughes, secret (try1 of state qt the ' Uplted States of Ainerlca, visiting Eng land. "Incognito" as Mr. Charles E. . JJ^rhea,. president of the American Bar which Is being entertained ,uwyers. Finally,. President ?3P' was the gdest of honor at the ,,, Pligrfins* society dinner? the last word; in'1 distinguished international so i'. ???!' gatherings. And Onest-of-Honor .Hughes told.. this gathering? one of the f .Wgt distinguished of recent years ? in 3JKte and friendly yet perfectly plain A,:?J?i>Jllsh words what America and Americans would do and would not do. For the economic rehabilitation of ft : Europe depebdence could be put on ; ? ^Amertcon/'asalstance. . ' < "And," added ...the guest of honor, "it does not matter 'is hot given by the gov ?ernrnent.'v The American press,' he i expressed American sentiment from ,ali points of view ; American finance: spoke for American Investors, ' 'Who did not "look to tlie government for dither ladvlce or security," and American philanthropy needed "no J; government spur." Vfe.1. "These, are the potent voices of ' America which do not wait for po litical action," Mr. Hughes said. /"These nrfe the outstretched arms of ? helpfulness which do not depend upon the muscular reactions of government. pi Dominant sentiment, I am quite ' . sure, Ts absolutely opposed to commit ments which would promise the action of congress in unknown contingencies. Our people insist Upon their liberty to form' their decisions as contingencies arise. " ' / "You "have the Dawes plan and you have had the participation of Amer ican experts with the liberty of con structive effort which was essential because it was undertaken in the only way in which success was possible. When you deal with economic rehabili tation you doubtless have in mind such ? contribution as America may be able to give In disinterested advice, and later In participation in the absolutely ' essential loan. ? - "The Important, Indeed the lndls rft pensable, thing Is that methods should be contrived and that your disposition should be such that assistance of that ' sort con be rendered. ' "A11 discussions will be futile un ? less the arrangements ultimately made A -satisfy the investing public. My con fldence that a way will be found to y^rsurmount all the existing difficulties : . lies in the fact that failure would In vite ohnos." At this writing the conference Is still deodlocked, with no Immediate promise of agreement. But at leost ik>, Europe knows what America will do and will not do. SENATOR BURTON K. WHEELER of Montana, Democrat, has been selected by LaFolIette us his running mofe on the Independent ticket. In Ills letter of acceptance Wheeler says, "t am a Democrat, but not a Wall Street Democrat" nnd "I shall do my best to help make this, my country, snfe for Democracy." And he says In part : . "The progressive. forward-looking people of the nation Irrespective of party affiliation, who honestly believe hi clean povernnient. in the enforce aaent of the law sgalnit the privileged class as well as against the common /)tfender; those who believe In the prosecution of the profiteer and those guilty of corruption In high place*; those whp, still hold to the political principles and personal ethics of Jef ferson and Lincoln, must needs find a political abiding place outside of the two old partiesas they are constituted and managed today." Wheeler la said to be the oiily West erner In the senate with a Yankee twang.' He was boni In Massachusetts. In 1882, worked his way through the University of Michigan law school and landed at Butte. He's been In many a tough and Complicated. political fight, sometimes loser and sometimes winner. His war on Attorney General Dough erty fixed national attention qn him. In the midst of It he was Indicted In Montana In connection with oil per mits* He says it Is a "frame-up.'' The senate exonerated him. WHO Is America's favorite child rlgl>t this minute? Why, nobody elBe but Helen Wills, our / eighteen- ' years-old woman tennis champion 'of the world. Oh, yes ; we Rll know that Helen won/ the Olympic title at Paris without meeting Suzanne Ltfiglen, the temperamental French tennis genius. But who did tlie dodging? Nt>t our "tittle Poker* Face." Some day Helen apd Suzanne will meet? and we know what will happen to Suzanne. "Little Poker Face" Is a whole lot more than a champion tennis player. She's also what we Americans call "a nice girl," when we mean all-around approval. Moreover she's easy to look at. And she minds her father and mother and studies hard at lier, books. Last? and .not least? Helen is a 'good sport" ? which, Is short for a good sportswoman, the Lady of Out doors,. She has worked her winning way up from the" bottom, taking the game as It came, with n? grouches, ilo alibis and no "spells" a la Lenglen. They beat her at Wimbledon. But she came back at Paris. . f OCR American world flyers are now headed towards home, with the sixth and last stage of their flight be fore them. They will make a long circuit to the north from England^ through Arctic regions that' have never seen an airplane. At Kirkwall in the Orkneys th^y say good-by to John Bull. With one stop at the Faroes they land in Raykjavlk, South Iceland. The sea flight to Greenland Is 500 miles. Along the coast of Greenland to Ang magsallk Is another 500 miles. Then comes a 572-mile sea flight to Indian Harbor, Labrador. Thereafter will come successive hops to Newfoundland. Nova Scotia, Boston, New York and .Washington. The last stage will be the transcontinental trip to Los Angeles, whence they started March 17. The United States navy has its patrol work well under wny. A dozen or so cruisers and destroyers will watch things on both sides of the At lantic. The flyers' are equipped with radio to keep In touch with the wor ships. About 7,000 miles of their 25, 000-mlle flight lie before the flyers. PITTSBURGH plus was abolished Tuesday by the federal trade com mission. What is Pittsburgh plus? The United States Steel corporation controls 50 per cent of our rolled steel supply. It has many mills In various places. The price for the steel is the price at Pittsburgh plus the freight from Pittsburgh minus the freight from the mill where the steel actually j is produced. The Pittsburgh plus system of de | termlnlng steel prices Is held by the | federal trade commission to not only ' be an unfair method of competition. ! but violation of the Clayton act. In | that It Is a means of price discrimina tion. Operation of the system, the commission adds, tends to retard the | stpol business in all centers except Pittsburgh, to lessen and eliminate competition anil to Incrcnse costs to ' consumers to an amount that reaches S30.rtKl.n00 a year In the' case of farm ers In eleven Western states alone. The tase who one of the most vigor ously contested In the history of the (-??mrr.Ssslon. attorneys for thirty-two Middle Western states nnd western steel <-on?umpr? joining In the ficht for abolition of the system llesults of the abolishment of the sjstcm ? if the I'nlted States Steel . . .corporation doesn't successfully ap peal to the courts? will doubtless be far-reaching. Estimates are made that more than* *200,000,600 will soon be expended on new Iron and steel plants In the Chicago district. ^^JOMINEE DAVIS, having picked ( on' Clem L. Shaver of West Vir ginia as the chairman of the Demo cratic national committee and put him on the Job, it out for a rock-bound isle off th? coast of Maine where nobody could get at him, to stay for ten days or 80-* He will be official^- notified August 11 at Clarksburg, and will then Are his first broadside of the cam paign. Shaver, like Davis, is a "native soh" of West Virginia. He is fifty-seven. ,He was admitted to the bar and prac ticed, but transferred bis attention to farming, stock raiding, dealing in coal and timber lands ? and politics. He is a fox hunter, duck hunter, fisherman and naturalist. He Is so far from be ing talkative tliat In his home town they call htm "The Sphinx." He must be even less talkative than Pat Harri son's "Silent Sphinx." Candidate Davis says, "Clem gives up a word Just about as readily as the average Amer ican cltlsen parts-wlth a dollar bill." U ALP past pne Tuesday morning at 1 Mackinac Island 1 A white squall Is lashing the straits. Lightning flashes and thunder crashes. Swooping in through the dark over the finish line at Round Island light came tlie tall-enders of the fleet of 22 yachts that left' Chi cago Saturday afternoon? all with double reefs that are not scudding un der bare poles. The yawl Vanadls and the sloop Seboomook are driven ashore. The Bloop Virginia Is run down by the steamer Manltou. The schooner Natant has sought shelter in the Beavers. All Chicago boats these. Vandyke's big sloop Dorello and Commodore Brown's big schooner Ranger, both flying the fag of the Milwaukee Yacht club, have roilshed one-two Monday afternoon. Last of nil to finish is Ben Carpen ter's Chicago midget K class sloop Sari, with its crew of four? so small she barely gets in the 5-ton limit and the smallest craft ever entered In the 19 years of the race, so small, in fact, that when her elapsed time of 56 :54 :30 Is corrected to 44:05:30 by her time allowance Sari leads all the fleet, beat ing Dorello by less than 40 minutes. This Chlcago-Macklnac annual yacht race over 831 miles of "The Stormy Water" Is second to none, fresh water or salt /"CLARENCE D ARROW sprang a tre ^ mendous surprise In the Leopold Loeb murder case Monday at Chicago by withdrawing t^e plea of not guilty and causing the defendants to plead guilty both to the charge of murder and of kidnaping for ransom. "We want to state frankly," said Darrow, "that no one In this case believes that these defendants should be released or are competent to be. We believe they should be permanently Isolated from society, and If we, as lawyers, thought differently their families would not permit us to do otherwise." The case will therefore be heard by Chief Justice John R. Caverly without n Jury. There are four punishments the court can ptft upon the defendants: Deoth. life term In penitentiary, a term of 14 years or a term of any number of years between. Notwithstanding the pica of guilty throws the defendants on the mercy of the court. State's Attorney Crowe went on with the trial, stating that the boys were sane and guilty and that the state would send them to the gallows ! The case Is far from being as simple as j It looks. Darrow. victorious leader of , many a forlorn hope, Is In It to save the boys from the rope. The Insanity plea will doubtless appear at the strategic moment. I \ f AJ. ROBERT LMBRIE.

ARE NOT AGREED ON ' ORIGIN OF HOOSIER , ... . Some Opinions Put Forward Not Complimentary. What the term "Hootsler" means, and the orljfin of It, Is u question that persists through Die years. More than ninety years ago it was discussed in the newMpuperH, and though the rea sonable and probable answer wus then Indicated, which ? the Indiana Democrat of October J!0, 1883, copied from the Cincinnati Republican, an Im probable explanation that chanced to get a footing Is nearly always given la answer. It Is that the nickname rose from what was suld to be the habit of Indiana pioneers of hailing a cabin ,\yjth the call "Who's yen; 7'^ No authentic pioneer chronicles tell , of uny such expression. I, A common hall was: "Xiello the house 1" In Indiana and elsewhere. More worthy of credence is the notion Of James WhitcOmb Riley, who main tained that Hoosler evolved from the Characteristic scrnpplness of the plo neej* who in settling their differences bO off each other's features. When, after one of these pleasantries, a Re lated citizen arrived on the scene and saw a detached ear lying on the ground he naturally .asked : "Who's ear?" Other stories than these derived the word from huzzar, huzza' and husher. None of then^ merits serious consider ation. Another story not quite so un likely Is that nhen the canal was be ing dug a contractor by the name of Hoosler employed workmen from the Indiana side of the river. These be came known as Hoosler's men', and as there were a great many of them, the use of the name spread until It becawe associated with Indianlans generally. The discussion of 1883, referred to above as quoted from the Cincinnati Republican, had this ,to say: "The word Hoosler Is Indebted for Its ex istence to that once numerous but now extinct class o{ mortals called the Ohio boatmen. In its^ original ac ceptation It was equivalent to 'Rlp staver,' 'Scrouger,' ? 'Screamer,' Bul .ger,' 'Ringtail roarer,' and a hundred others. ... By some caprice the appellation became confined solely to such boatmen as had their homes upon the Indiana shore, and from then/ it was gradually applied to dll the In dianlans." The writer of this perhaps did not know that the word was not confined to the boatmen on the river, but ex tended southward and was probably common then, as It certainly was later In the more primitive sections, especially in the^ mountain districts. Today one may flnS the word Horsier there as an expression contempt for an uncouth and unkempt person. That It made Its way northward as part of the 'southern vocabulary along with the tide of Immigration from the South hardly admits of a doubt, and that it attached to -the typical early -Indlanlan Is an uncomplimentary probability. As the cultural status of the' people changed the word gradu ally lost Its earlier Implications but retained its place. The first appear ance of the word in print, as far as known, is In the Indiana Palladium for July 30, 1S31, which, describing Noah Noble ns a horse In the political race, says: "He may be called a 'Hoosher.' " ? Indianapolis News. J_ His Reason "I'm Sphering on moving away," said Lafe Lazyenberry of Boogie Hol ler. "I -aim to load the folks Into the waggin, pour a gourdful of water on the fire, call the dogs and light out for Oklahomy." "What do you want to go to Ok lahomy for special?" asked an ac quaintance. "Well, I'll Just tell you: I've used up all the credit I had yurahouts and borrled till I can't borry nuth'n' more, and over there I don't know nobody and nobody don't know me. so I aim to start all over ag'ln." ? Kansas City Star. ' Knew the Owner There wits nothing the professor dis liked so much as to see the Ignorant public get false Information ? especial ly on the subject of ornithology. So when he observed that an incorrect scientific name had been attached to a cage of birds at the park zoo, he summoned the attendant. "Don't you know that these birds do not belong to the family Para dleldae?" he asked. "Sure. I do," replied the attendant. "The zoo bought 'em last week."

Grim Relict of Fight of Long Centuries Age Many Indeed liave been the revela tions of archeology concerning "Un happy, far-off things and buttle* lo.ng ago." But British explorutloua at Jerablus ? th? ft'arciimiilsh of Jere miad's prophecy- ? told a tragic tale with unusual clearness. Some line limestone- blocks projecting from a cutting of the Uugdu'd rullway first aroused scientific curiosity, and exca vation i quickly showed that they formed ?lie reur wall of a line, spa cious vilin. At 'no great depth under tlio sur face the man encountered a thick sirutum of burned ushes. There was no truce of later construction, and the site, which was ttie most com manding In the outer town, would hardly have been left unoccupied while Carclieinlsh wus a city ; so the excavators assumed that the^re that destroyed the house was that whld> swept the whole place about 000 B. C. Very soon the assumption re ceived startling confirmation, says the Youth's Companion. Outside the walls they found a few bronze arrow heads; on the porcli there were a number of them, and on the floor of the rooms under the ashes arrow heads of bronze and Iron turned up In hundreds, and with them lance points and broken sword blades and men's bones and all the signs of a fierce struggle. Always the weapons lay thickest In front of room doors, and there the arrow heads were often bent or broken, as if from striking against the bronze casing of the door timbers. It needed but little Imagi nation to follow the fight as the de fenders were driven back from room to room until they were overwhelmed at the last. Near by was found a beautiful Greek shield bearing a Medusa's head of the finest workmanship. How came Such an object among the ruins of Carchemlsh, which was destroyed In the same campaign in which Gaza fell? Wise scholars remembered that Herodotus mentions spoils from Gaza, dedicated by Pharaoh Necho at the Temple of ApoUo at Branchldae in honor of thq/ Ionian mercenaries who served In his . ranks. The' excava tions at Jerablus have led perhaps to more Important results, but 'tti none more dramatic than this, which brings together In one burnt and, ruined house at Carchemlsh two writers bo far removed from each other as He rodotus and Jeremiah ? the Greek "F.ather of History" and the Jewish prophfet.' Ancient and Modern Culture To compare ancient Egypt, or the Valley, of the Kings, and all they have bequeathed to us, brought to light from ' time to time by excavation, , with material discovery, such as steam, electricity and the like, through other scientific channels would be ridiculous. But archeologlcal dis coveries as the harnessing of those powers to our uses are the only real advantage other than the science of medicine, that modern civilization may claim over that of the ancients. Again, though we cannot become inti mate with those ancient people in the living, by archeologlcal research work we can become Intimate with their dead and the materia} they have be queathed us. As a result of such research, we find that culture in the way of Intellectual development and the arts In general were in those most ancient times in many ways higher than they are today. In fact, mod ern progress In the mechanical sciences and tudustrlallsm generally are largely responsible for the com plete eclipse of spontaneous and un conscious artistic production. If there by we get such ultlmute results ' us cubism and futurism, then archeolog lcal research will show that the arts are best without our mechanical and Industrial progress. ?

Tree Planting A request from the American Tree Planting association for the name of the "champion tree planter" In sach state Is a reminder of the great growth of the arborlculturul movement In the Cnlted States since J.' -Sterling Mor ton first proposed an Arbor day. The American Tree association says that it has enrolled 70,000 registered tree planters, tut this is far from consti tuting our tree planting strength. The effort to establish avenues of shade along the principal highways Is portlcl pnted In by many Individuals and by hundreds of local organizations.
